Cookies

A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer or mobile phone browser from a website's computer and is stored on your device. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser permits a website to access only the cookies the website has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Cookies record information about your online preferences and allow us to tailor the websites to your interests.

Our websites utilize cookies. If you choose to disable cookies in your browser, you may be unable to complete certain activities on our websites. We use multiple third parties to monitor web traffic, statistics, advertisement 'click-through', and other activities on our sites. Where authorized by us, such third parties may use cookies, our web log files, web beacons, and other monitoring technologies to evaluate use of our websites.

We also include web beacons in HTML-formatted e-mail newsletters in order to count how many newsletters (or particular articles, links, etc.) are being accessed.

Current versions of web browsers offer enhanced user controls regarding the placement and duration of both first and third party cookies. Search for "cookies" under your web browser's Help menu for more information on cookie management features available to you.

How We Share Your Information

We keep your personal information confidential. We will not sell, rent or lease your personal information to others. Unless we have your permission, we will not use or share your personal information in ways unrelated to the ones described at the time you provide the data. We engage service providers and suppliers (“agents”) to perform certain functions on our behalf. For example, these agents may deliver products to you, provide product service and support, maintain our information technology systems, and assist us with marketing and communication initiatives. Those agents will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to perform the services. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information received on our behalf and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.

Some of our products may be co-branded and offered in conjunction with companies not affiliated with us. If you register these products, both we and the other company may receive the information you provide.

We may access and/or disclose your personal information if we believe such action is necessary to: (a) comply with the law or legal process served on us; (b) comply with requests for information from police or government authorities, (c) protect and defend our rights or property (including the enforcement of our agreements); or (d) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of our employees or members of the public.

We or our affiliates could merge with or be acquired by another business or their respective assets may be acquired. We will seek appropriate protection for personal information in these types of transactions.

If you choose to have a relationship with us or our affiliates, such as contractual or other business relationships, we will naturally continue to contact you in connection with that business relationship.
